This past year I worked with 7th grade students who were held over, and/or earned a 1 on the state standardized test.? The AIS program was Read 180 which worked with students on reading and writing strategies, as well as independent reading.? They had a computer instructional component to the program where students were able to read a passage and answer questions.? The program kept a tally of their work and prorgress.?
Unfortunately, students also were taken away from social studies or science to take the AIS class 7 to 9 times a week.? Progress was made with 90% of the students and they passed their ELA test.?

I will have three 8th grade AIS (academic intervention services) classes. These students are the lowest regular ed readers on the grade level. Class size will be kept small. These kids will be missing some of the more fun classes (technology, art etc) to take this reading course.? I would love to hear how other middle school teachers would work with this group.
